Famous quotes containing the words private and/or life:

    stop the darkness and its amputations
    and find the real McCoy
    in the private holiness
    of my hands.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The symbol of perpetual youth, the grass-blade, like a long green ribbon, streams from the sod into the summer, checked indeed by the frost, but anon pushing on again, lifting its spear of last year’s hay with the fresh life below. It grows as steadily as the rill oozes out of the ground.... So our human life but dies down to its root, and still puts forth its green blade to eternity.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
